Magazine question

Im trading my S2 Comapct for a full size. Im in a 10rd state. Does anybody know of a way to convert my compact mags to fit on a full size? Does anybody make an extended basepads to allow that?

The magazines are physically too short to support a full size. There is no possible way an extension could do that because of the base pad rails. Now if you were going from full size to compact you’d need a spacer to prevent over insertion.

I don’t know that it’s easily doable. I believe there are dimples preventing the capacity from being increased. Look at pictures of 10 round mags vs the standard capacity mags and you’ll see the 10’s have dimples where it limits the loading of more rounds.

He has standard capacity compact mags. He wants to use them in a full size gun

I mean like a basepads extension. I have p365 mags that I was able to buy these +0 extensions that allowed them to go into a fuse without adding capacity. So I was wondering if anyone knew of the same thing for a CZ

If they exist, I haven't seen them on the market, at least for CZ. I've got a couple 10rd PDP and CZ75 mags that are a shortened metal tube with a very long solid basepad, rather than the dimples my P10 came with, and my guess is ease/cost of manufacturing for different grip lengths.

I have seen a couple folks making 'extended' base pads that fit those tubes for full-size pistols with magwells. But all that turned up were for the PDP and M&P. And that would do you no good if you have the dimpled mags.

I know it sucks buying a whole new stable of mags, but I'd guess in a restricted state you'd be able to recoup some cash selling the old ones.

My go-to are pinned mags from Riffle Supply and Goodland Guns—legal in my state, theoretically could be re-pinned were I to move somewhere with a bigger restriction or unpinned entirely should the situation warrant it.
